How can a tutor help you master the ACT?

The American College Test, better known as the ACT, may be the most important exam you may take in your high school career. While there are many other important parts of the college application, your ACT scores may make or break your application when the committee is choosing between you and another student. It is also an important score when searching for merit-based financial aid and scholarships, and some colleges even give guaranteed aid for anyone who achieves a desirable score. This may place a lot of stress on students. Thankfully, Varsity Tutors is here to help you achieve the score you want by finding you an experienced ACT tutor in Ann Arbor, MI.

When our educational directors in Ann Arbor place you with an ACT tutor, it is not done randomly. We may find a tutor who may work with your learning style and abilities, making sure to teach you in the way that helps you learn best. We may also find you a tutor suited to your personality, erasing disruptive personality conflicts that detract from the learning that must be done.

The exam is split into four sections: English, reading, math, and science. In addition, there is a timed essay portion that many universities require on your application. Because of this, our educational directors may wish to know which section you struggle with most. This helps the directors to place you with a tutor who is especially skilled in that area, allowing them to pass those skills on to you before the exam. You may spend time working on the skills you need to know instead of wasting time on information you understand.

An ACT tutor in Ann Arbor is able to meet you nearly anywhere you would like. You may meet at Espresso Royale in the morning to practice your English skills, or finish a practice essay at the public library downtown. A tutor may meet with you in your own home to teach you strategies that may help you tackle the reading section speed and up your math skills. A tutor may also meet with you online through the Varsity Tutors face-to-face live learning platform if you are especially busy or are unable to meet with your tutor in person.

Let Varsity Tutors help you get an edge on other students and try to get into the college of your dreams. Call our educational directors in Ann Arbor today for help achieving your desired score on the ACT!

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"The student and I had our last session before his test. We worked a little on all of the sections, focusing a little more on reading because he was most worried about that. He did very well overall and should do fine on the test. "

★★★★★

"Today we worked on the English section, both with common grammatical errors, as well as more advanced stylistic errors that may come up in the ACT. We also reviewed basic math concepts and practiced translating word problems to equations. "

★★★★★

"The student and I went over probability questions. We then talked about area and volume. She is going to take a math practice test before our next session. This should help us see if we need to re-review anything. We also went through a reading passage and discussed ways to approach reading the passages and answering the questions. We did a few writing questions as well. On Tuesday, we will go over the math and then do further concept review."

★★★★★

"The student and I worked through a practice ACT math section test. She seems to have a very good grasp of the material, and was doing extremely well for it being his first time going through a practice exam. "

★★★★★

"I timed the student as he practiced English, reading, and science passages. I gave him questions to review and correct for homework. We went over the important math equations he needed to memorized for test day. I gave him final tips and pointers to improve his score for his upcoming test. "

★★★★★

"The student and I reviewed math problems. We also discussed grammar and talked about expectations. Last, we discussed end refining essay structure skills."

★★★★★

"The student and I worked mainly on reading comprehension and math today. We discussed gathering evidence for answers in reading and circle theorems in math."

★★★★★

"We worked on reading today, going over one complete section. I told her to do another full practice test and to work specifically on the speed of her reading.
I would really like to work with her on math again as well.
I also told her to look through Writing section prompts (online, in her test prep book, etc.) and give herself exactly 5 minutes to read the prompt, think about it, and write up an outline that will help her write out the entire essay. This will help her get into the mindset of using specific examples when citing sources for her essay (I gave her examples of literature, plays, high profile individuals, etc. that would help in support of many essay prompts).
"

★★★★★

"Today we covered English and Reading practice; 34 on English, and 25 on Reading. The student has the potential to get a perfect score in English. For Reading, she is making improvements.
"

★★★★★

"Continued working on sentence completion and spent most of the time focusing on generating essay outlines and themes that could be used for multiple essay topics."

★★★★★

"Went over the assessment Math and Verbal (English Grammar).
The student has excellent fundamental skills and with just a little more practice, I think she will be able to reach her goal."

★★★★★

"We started by reviewing a timed essay he wrote yesterday and going over ways he could improve his score. For today we focused on mainly working on a large number of problems so the student could be exposed to the different contents and question types before he takes his assessment this weekend. He did very well in the English and Science sections. I think after our session he has a better understanding of how to find answers for the Reading section, and we worked on reading the question carefully in Math. "
